The first phase of https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/growing-vegetables-in-1000-families-in-uganda/ was started after receiving of first disbursement of first grant from GlobalGiving of $545.50USD on 25/October/2023 into Rejoice Africa Foundation bank account by the end of December with 27 vegetable gardens established in 27 families as the first direct beneficiaries beginning to harvest Carrots, Cabbages, green paper local spinach (dodo), cabbage and eggplant. In addition, families are harvesting and sharing. While women are the main gardeners, spouses and children are beginning to join in on the tasks and the trainings offered by Rejoice Africa Foundation horticulturist and project leader, Kellen and Robert .

In the next few months, the project will concentrate on establishing Phase 2 “Care groups”, gardens, group trainings, gathering data on garden nutritional, health and gender impacts, and fundraising to pay the costs of Phase 2 and Phase 3. We appreciate continued donations through GlobalGiving to carry out the important work described here.
